When Dwell visited Shulman two years before his death, he was satisfied with the career he had built, and still actively giving lectures, photographing houses, and talking to journalists. "I'm always identified as being the best architectural photographer in the world," Shulman declared. "I disclaim that. I say, 'One of the best."
Having fallen into great disrepair and almost subjected to the wrecking ball until Shulman’s original photographs were found on the property and used for a historically accurate renovation, Carl Louis Maston’s 1962 Hillside House still survives. The home is surrounded by earth and set into a 45-degree slope. The sundeck above the driveway shields the master bedroom from the street. © J. Paul Getty Trust. Used with permission.
